Description:

The impetus for this work of fiction, Thought in a Makeshift Mortuary, came from the tragic photograph in the South African Sunday Times of Jackie Quin and her husband heon Meyer lying side by side in a Lesotho mortuary, after they were murdered in December 1985 by unknown gunmen. It is dedicated to Jackie, and to the many young South African women like her who follow their convictions and their hearts through the barricades that so artificially divide us. A country in torment often produces a fine literature. South Africa is no exception. In the roll of honour can be found a remarkable first novelist, Jenny Hobbs, and her story of forbidden love.
